Red Line Conditioning
We build our team training philosophy from the phrase “MOVE BETTER, PLAY BETTER”. With this statement being the driving force behind how we design every training session. We take great pride in our ability to asses each athlete by gathering information from a baseline/ fit test, we then determine the various issues each athlete has and will incorporate added mobility, soft tissue, or strength exercises, as well as make various progressions or regressions for exercises within the program. We correct the limitations at the root of the problem, instead of simply working around their symptoms. Our program will be designed to fix various compensations each individual athlete has, resulting in improved movement patterns, strength, and performance, which will ultimately carry over to various aspects of their sport. Each Training session will be divided into three components: 1) Movement/Speed Training 2) Power/Strength Training and Maintenance 3) Energy System Development Movement / Speed Training: -Area of focus within each session is mobility, movement preparation, plyometrics, activation and movement strength/skill. The goal of every session is proper movement pattern recruitment/movement technique. Power/ Strength Training and Maintenance: -Area of focus include: Compound movements designed to teach and maintain adequate joint mobility and core stability, Rotational power and rotational stability work, Linear power and linear stability, Injury reduction and strengthening of injury-susceptible areas ,Corrective exercises designed to eliminate injury and re-train the motor center. Energy System Development: -Our In-Season ESD is carefully monitored and is determined on a weekly basis. We work with the coaching staff to determine the volume and intensity of each session to ensure adequate recovery is available before games and practices to avoid overtraining. -As hockey players you spend most of your season in a flexed hip position, therefore we believe it is imperative that much our ESD is performed upright (i.e. sprint running) so you can fully extend your hips and open your chest to help correct and avoid any of the imbalances incurred during the season.
